home is where my story
      startssm contest

                  During June, “National Homeownership
                  Month”, CHFA invited our home
                  mortgage customers to enter the Home
                  Is Where My Story Startssm contest.
                  Customers were asked to submit
                  written or video entries describing how
                  homeownership positively influenced
                  their lives. The prize was one free home
                  mortgage payment, or $1,000 applied
                  to their CHFA loan balance—whichever
                  was greater.

                  The results were inspiring. More than
                  100 contest entries were received.
                  Each described the various ways that
                  homeownership creates a sense of
                  community, pride, security, and
                  increased stability.

                  Unable to select only one winner, the
                  seven-member selection panel chose
                  instead to identify 12 winners, including:

                  „„Amy Gallagher, Grand Junction

                  „„Barbara Ellen Dean, Pueblo

                  „„Brittany Baker, Englewood

                  „„Cenythia Green, Denver

                  „„Kathleen King, Commerce City

                  „„Maria Almanza, Westminster

                  „„Stephen and Cindy Shutt, Fountain

                  „„Zachary and Heidi Guzman,
                     Colorado Springs; and

                     requested to remain anonymous.
